'The answer to a healthy outside is looking inward,' says holistic fair organizer

It's a two-day exhibition for all things mind, body and soul

Have you been thinking about your aura, your chakra or your life's journey?

Barrie will host the largest Holistic Fair of its kind later this month.

Owner of the Awakening Energy Event, Vanessa Sieger says the exhibition is "mental health-focused based on the idea that the answer to a healthy outside is looking inward for other ways to heal. Its a health and wellness exhibition with a difference. There are many paths to health and wellbeing."

Seventy-five vendors will set up at the Barrie Molson Centre May 26 and May 27.

Sieger says she has done 16 Holistic Fairs right across Ontario, but this one will be the biggest.

"Our goal is to educate and inspire the community about what is in their backyard  dealing with mind, body and soul."

There will be inspirational speakers, yoga demonstrations, psychic readings, massage, henna artists, pet healers and life coaches. There will also be handmade jewellery, crystals, plants, all-natural beauty products and various other merchandise connected to the wellness community.

It's an event for all ages.

Barrie's Holistic Fair will be Saturday, May 26 (9 a.m. to 6 p.m.) and Sunday, May 27 (9 a.m. to 5 p.m.)

Even the date is specifically chosen. According to Sieger, "It will lead up to the powerful full moon allowing for a positive flow of positive change and transformation."

Admission is free.
